Bryson DeChambeau opened up a three-shot lead at the halfway stage of LIV Golf Singapore on Friday, and credited a love of “chocolate milk and hitting more drivers” for his success.

The American’s six-under-par 65 at Sentosa Golf Club took him to 10 under for tournament, with five players, including Jon Rahm and Thomas Detry, tied for second.

One of four overnight leaders, DeChambeau said after his first round the unlikely pairing had been key to his preparation for the season and reiterated that following a second 18 that included five birdies, a bogey and an eagle at the 587-yard par-5 fourth.

“I played great today,” he said. “I had a few more opportunities out there that I didn’t capitalise on, but played plenty well and gave myself plenty of opportunities to go low today.”

Hot on his heels are Rahm, Detry, Lee Westwood, Richard T Lee and Louis Oosthuizen.

Rahm and Detry, first and second in Hong Kong last week, in particular are showing the sort of form that could give DeChambeau trouble over the weekend, not that the Crushers GC captain is worried.
